Friday-Saturday August 24 and 25

Hood to Coast Relay
Leg 1: 4.5 miles in 26 minutes at 5:46 pace. I ran this leg too slow. It was dark and I had no idea what the course was like, so I had a hard time guessing where I was to set the pace.

Leg 2: 5.75 miles in I don't remember how long. I think it took me about 38 minutes for a pace of about 6:36. I climbed about 1500 feet cumulatively through this leg. Most spectacular sunrise I have ever seen, the light sky contrasted against the dark valley with dozens of headlamps of runners.

Leg 3: 4.09 miles in 23? minutes. I ran 6:04 pace. Kind of pathetic. I was pretty much done though.

The lack of sleep definitely plays a role in the fatigue here.
